As manufacturing companies embrace Industry 4.0, they become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. The integration of IT and OT in manufacturing environments has expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals. Complex supply chains and digital manufacturing processes further exacerbate these risks. Cristie are helping manufacturing companies to modernize system recovery and replication for OT and administrative IT systems to minimize downtime and build cyber resilience.
Traditional recovery methods for physical machines often require manual intervention, creating a significant bottleneck, especially during large-scale recoveries. Cristie Software’s system recovery solutions eliminate this obstacle by automating the recovery process, streamlining operations and reducing the time and effort needed for physical machine recovery. This automation minimizes human intervention, enabling faster, more efficient system restoration, particularly in large and complex environments.
System Recovery Testing: Manufacturing companies can regularly test their backup and recovery systems to ensure they can reliably restore vital systems without interrupting ongoing production. Any vulnerabilities or issues uncovered during these tests can be promptly addressed and incorporated into an updated recovery plan to strengthen future resilience.
Implementing efficient system recovery is a fundamental component of building Cyber Resilience into manufacturing operational technology. Cristie Software’s system recovery solutions are designed to support large-scale recovery efforts by seamlessly integrating with leading backup platforms such as IBM, Dell Technologies, Rubrik, and Cohesity. This collaboration ensures efficient and reliable recovery processes, even in complex and expansive IT environments.
CBMR is a simple, yet powerful, backup software solution that creates a backup of your entire system as well as the data files and databases that you specify. The backup can be held on a network share, a tape device, a library, a standalone NAS or using Spectrum Protect.
The software will also provide quick recovery of the operating system in the event of system failure or human error. The recovered machine can be on dissimilar hardware or on a virtual or cloud machine.
CBMR also provides the ability to clone to a new machine from an existing backup. The cloning option allows the hostname and/or the IP address to be changed during the recovery.
CBMR allows you to backup data on your system to any backup location attached to your computer or network, including FTP (Windows only), tape, VMware, Hyper-V, Spectrum Protect and AWS and OCI public clouds. You can then examine the content of the backup and restore any desired files or directories.
Here’s an update on what’s new for the Cristie Virtual Appliance. The 5.3.1 release includes lots of new functionality including Continuous Recovery Assurance for Rubrik VM snapshots.
Cleanroom recovery is becoming essential in the fight against ransomware. By restoring systems in an isolated environment, organizations can validate integrity, eliminate hidden threats, and prevent reinfection. This approach ensures secure, reliable recovery of infrastructure, helping businesses minimise downtime and strengthen cyber resilience after sophisticated cyberattacks.
Modern ransomware targets entire infrastructures, not just data. Traditional backups often fail because they don’t restore operating systems or configurations. This guide explores building a cyber-resilient strategy using automated system recovery and cleanroom environments to bridge the gap between backup and full operational restoration, ensuring rapid recovery after a sophisticated attack.
When cyberattacks cripple critical infrastructure, organizations must rebuild systems quickly and securely. Bare metal recovery enables complete physical system recovery by restoring operating systems, applications, and data from trusted backups. Automated recovery solutions accelerate ransomware system recovery, reduce downtime, and help organizations restore operations rapidly after major cyber incidents worldwide.
